Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove from exposure area and allow to rest in fresh air.
Seek medical advice if symptoms occur.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of flowing water for at
least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if possible. Seek
medical attention.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash affected skin with soap and water. Seek medical
attention if symptoms occur.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Wash out mouth with plenty of water. Seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water spray and foam are the recommended extinguishing
agents.

Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand and earth may be
used for small fires only.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in

a fire, evolving noxious fumes including carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Keep personnel away from the fire.


Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full
protective clothing and equipment.


Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate all non-essential personnel from the area. Remove
ignition sources and avoid sparks. Take precautionary
measures against static discharge.


As environmental precaution, prevent contamination with
water.


Ensure suitable operator protection with gloves, goggles and
dust mask. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment
conforming to the relevant national or international
standards.


Sweep up spillages, avoiding dust formation. Carefully
transfer the spillage to waste containers. Containers filled
with waste material must be labelled in the same way as the
original substance containers.


Dispose of waste material in accordance with local
regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used under
conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with
any local regulations in order to avoid exposure to

workers.

Engineering controls, such as local exhaust ventilation,
should be used in the workplace in order to reduce exposure
to the substance. The substance should be used in well
ventilated areas, avoiding contact with eyes and skin and
the breathing of vapours or mist.


Wash hands throughly after handling and clothing after use.
Do not store or consume food, drink or tobacco in areas that
may become contaminated with this material.


When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled,
appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.
Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate
international or national standards as follows:


Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374.

Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368.


Eye protection to Standard EN166.

Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be
used, it must be capable of adequately controlling

exposure, be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the
appropriate international or national standards, such as a
dust mask conforming to EN149 FFP1.


These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Avoid high temperature and humidity. Store in a dry and well
ventilated area, protecting the substance from direct heat
or sunlight.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: The substance will be imported into the EU in two packaging
formats:


a. 1 to 9 kg packaging: 1 kg polyethylene bag in cardboard
box.

b. 10 kg and more than 10 kg packaging: 10 kg moisture

proof bag in paper drum.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None known.

Chemical reaction with water: No reaction with water.

Dust explosion: Under normal conditions of use this material does not
present a significant explosion hazard. However, like most
organic compounds it is combustible and may form a dust
explosion if widely dispersed in air.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance is not considered suitable for recovery or
recycle both from normal usage and accidental spillage.
Recovery from minor spillages or accidental discharge is not
economically or technically feasible, and such waste
material will be disposed of by landfill.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: None known under normal usage.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: The substance is to be disposed of by landfill.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Incineration is not the recommended method of disposal.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not recommended

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable
